IBMs "Clever" Search Engine

Posted by ryuzaki0 on from the future-of-the-net dept.

Derek Pomery writes "Scientific American Online has a new article by an IBM team concerning their new search engine, named "Clever". Clever is a link based search engine, but the logic is a little different then Google (they compare the two). It'll be interesting to see which is more effective. "

      Sounds like this one is worthy of a mention somewhere. Towards the end of the day, www.slashdot.org wasn't responding to a ping, and a traceroute ended one hop before the final destination. Right now, the "uptime" box shows that this system has been up for ~10 hours.

      So the server went down... but what happened to all the stories? The the drive crater on us?

  13. This story is broken... by Rayban · · Score: 1

    This story seems to be broken on the front page. The only way I can get to it is by clicking "Read More". On the front page, it's just a blank story w/o a title, but all the other stories are intact. Weird, huh?

  24. Where *is* a clever search engine? by AtariDatacenter · · Score: 2

    Okay, I read the article. But I felt like I missed something importantly. Namely, the search engine itself.

    I was reading how they compare it to Google, saying that the Google search is faster. Does that mean that the Clever search engine will yield better results, but takes hell of computational time?

    It is going to be a search engine that scales, or is it going to be stuck in 'research mode' until hardware can catch up to the programming?
